This person made one mistake, and then made another few dozen horrific mistakes.
May the person who did this rot in prison for the rest of their life, I'm okay with no chance of parole in this case.
There's a pretty massive chasm between burglarising someone's house and, you know, running over tens of innocent people and killing at least 5 of them.I guess I'm more "Wild West" in my thoughts on crime.
Do yourself a favor and never break into my house.
The state should not have the power of death over its citizens, for a number of reasons.This dude deserves no place in society/the world, this is why we need the death penalty.
Why pay to feed him for decades in prison?

You do know that life in prison costs less than the death penalty, right?This dude deserves no place in society/the world, this is why we need the death penalty.

I will never understand these weird fantasies people have about murdering people who break into their homes, even though in rare instances it happens you are more likely to be injured or killed by your own gun than heroically murder robber.I guess I'm more "Wild West" in my thoughts on crime.

Just say you're a republican and go. There are many reasons why the death penalty is inhumane, immoral, and far more expensive than life in prison.I guess I'm more "Wild West" in my thoughts on crime.

This tweet collects several videos chronologically and maps them out which helps contextualize it. From this, it does seem like the driver does try to avoid people until he gets to a bottleneck where the only options for him are to either stop or go through people.

You should be aware that your "I'm a tough guy and will shoot you if you break into my house" attitude is more likely to kill you or a loved one than it is to protect you from harm.I guess I'm more "Wild West" in my thoughts on crime.

Get a pitbull, it's like a gun you can give belly rubs to. Plenty of videos on the internet of home invaders fleeing when they see a pitbull barking their way.I will never understand these weird fantasies people have about murdering people who break into their homes, even though in rare instances it happens you are more likely to be injured or killed by your own gun than heroically murder robber.
Get a dog.
I've been using guns since I was 5 years old, I think we will make it somehowYou should be aware that your "I'm a tough guy and will shoot you if you break into my house" attitude is more likely to kill you or a loved one than it is to protect you from harm.
Yeah, we should definitely put innocent people at risk at being wrongly accused and killed just to satisfy your personal blood lust.
I've never voted Republican in my lifeJust say you're a republican and go. There are many reasons why the death penalty is inhumane, immoral, and far more expensive than life in prison.
God this thread is a nightmare of ignorance, pointless hot takes, and knees jerk blood lust. Settle down and wait for good information and for the justice system to do its job.
There's no reason the death penalty couldn't be reserved for public crimes where there's no real question on who the culprit is.

That's what happened with this guy thoughStrawman. Literally no one is arguing crimes should not be prosecuted. You know this of course.
Could be the kind of guy who'd just shrug his shoulders or blame someone else.They might need to take this guys shoelaces away along with any other means of suicide from him when he finds out what he really did on that day. I can't imagine someone looking themselves in the mirror after this kind of tragedy.
Obviously it was intentional and he was trying to hurt/kill as many people as possible.
That isn't how the system works.
You are either 'guilty' or 'not guilty.' There is no third 'super duper definitely guilty' option.
No one thinks it'll happen to them before it happens, they all thought they knew what they were doing. That's kind of the point, if they weren't sure they wouldn't have handled the gun in the first place and the accident wouldn't have happened.I've been using guns since I was 5 years old, I think we will make it somehow
I'm talking about situations where the trial is more about what the punishment should be, rather than confirming the person actually did the action (like Kyle Rittenhouse). In those cases, if prosecutors want to go for the death penalty in some crimes, I understand it.
That's what happened with this guy though
He was arrested over a year ago and still hasn't been prosecuted
"Second-degree recklessly endangering safety – felony with use of a dangerous weapon (two counts) and possessing firearm convicted of a felony (felony charge.) The case was filed in July 2020, but it remains pending. Milwaukee County courts is dealing with a major backlog in cases."
If he's in prison for life, he'd not be existing in society. Without dealing with the implications of the state killing people.He absolutely deserves the death penalty. There is no doubt. Nothing circumstantial. Plenty of evidence. Prior charges. He is a cold, heartless killer.
Has nothing to do with insatiable bloodlust.
Society is better off with this guy not existing in it. Period.
Yea this is an unfortunate confluence of events. I feel like in a normal year without COVID, he gets a speedy trial and is not free for this to have happened because the time between charges and a court appearance would have been demonstrably shorter. But we did have COVID so the system was backed up.so the alternative here is to hold him for an entire year plus on pending charges. you can see how that wouldn't be sustainable as a general rule, yes?
There are many alternatives other than holding people for over a year lolso the alternative here is to hold him for an entire year plus on pending charges. you can see how that wouldn't be sustainable as a general rule, yes?
I mean, the quote you posted answers it yourself. They're facing a major backlog. While that is a problem, it is a different problem than a fundamental unwillingness to prosecute cases. Covid caused a huge mess for the courts because certain things can't be done over Zoom and you can't indefinitely detain people either.That's what happened with this guy though

how about increasing spending/staffing on the courts so they can move their cases through in a timely fashion…
The media are stenographers for copaganda. The "justice" system is punitive. And clearly that's what people want.Putting criminals back out in the street for insanely low bail prices and not prosecuting crimes is a sure fire way for us to lose upcoming elections though, just look at what happened in the most recent Seattle election.
